a new crab chip?

great post, (s)! i would like to follow up with some muckraking on a possibly lithuanian man who has mustard, bridges, and streets in new york named after him (planes condiments and automobiles), but right now, we have bigger fish to fry!

yesterday i found this at my rite aid:


my evaluation is: they're ok, which is how i always feel about crab chips.

sam says that Herr's is always too salty. after some quick investigating, we found that this bag did indeed have about 1.5 times as much sodium as a bag of another brand. but a more careful investigation will have to be conducted along the PA turnpike, the only place one can spot and observe that rare specimen, the Utz crab chip.

lithuanians part ii


The other day I was on quite a search for a sealed box of O.B. tampons (all of the ones at Walgreens were opened), one college ruled notebook, and a good trusty deal on glasses lenses when I stumbled upon this hidden Brooklyn Treasure.

Who knew? And it was directly across the street from the church that gave me free lunch on Saturday - they approached me. It was also near my living quarters that were once (g)'s. Fate.

But yay GNYL (greater new york lithuanians)! I am curious about that flag, however.

Also, still no tampons, made a college ruled notebook, and found one in Chinatown.

lithuanians

pat, jess, stephanie, tyler, marty, and i made dumplings a few nights ago (jared was getting antibiotics in times square).

later that same night, i met two german pornographers who were talking about the lithuanian filmmaker jonas mekas. being lithuanian myself, i didn't like how they were pronouncing his name and told them how to pronounce it more correctly.

the next day, noah and i went to the museum and saw a fluxus preview. fluxus is an art movement started and led by another famous lithuanian, jurgis maciunas (who went by "george" because people are bad at pronouncing lithuanian names, as we've seen already).

and all of this now makes me think of this video where both of these famous lithuanians have a dumpling party with a famous pittsburgher, a famous beatle, and a famous japanese-american artiste!
